Bridges moved frequently as a small child and never felt there was anywhere to call home. She spent her time deep in imagination, drawing the things that came into her mind and mastering her skills at rendering. To her delight, she found that art and drawing were not only her solace and pastime, but a way to make new friends. Educated in San Francisco, Bridges credits this time as one of the most creative in her burgeoning understanding of art. "I learned a lot about letting go," the artist states, "and began painting what I thought was good, not what I thought others wanted to see." Bridges draws her inspiration from favorite artists from the past: Rembrandt's extreme play of light and shadow; Alphonse Mucha's vibrant colors, richness of design and flowing fabrics. Bridges explains her other inspiration--the love of film and music--when she says, "They inspire me and evoke emotions in me... then all the ideas come flowing out."
